The Boston Bruins entered Thursday's matchup with the Columbus Blue Jackets with 57 wins before making history with their 2-1 overtime win.
Just 41 seconds into the extra frame, Hampus Lindholm fed David Pastrnak, who beat Columbus goaltender Michael Hitchinson for the game-winner.
"Clinching the (Presidents') Trophy is step number one," Pastrnak told NESN's Adam Pellerin postgame. "It's a lot of fun with these special guys, and it doesn't happen very often, so we're going to enjoy it."
With their 58th win, the Bruins not only set the single-season wins record, but they also won their fourth Presidents' Trophy in team history and clinched the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, along with home ice through the Stanley Cup playoffs.
